Iran-US ceasefire implodes: Trump says the Iran ceasefire is on “massive life support” after rejecting Tehran’s counterproposal as “totally unacceptable,” while Iran insists its demands are “reasonable,” including ending the US blockade, lifting sanctions, compensation for war damage, and sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz—where shipping remains near-paralyzed and oil prices keep spiking. Hormuz pressure game: Iran warns any UN resolution must reflect US “aggressions,” and Tehran signals readiness for “all options,” as it also talks up new ways to deter attacks, including mini-submarines. Israel escalates legally and militarily: Israel’s Knesset approved a special tribunal for Oct 7 attackers with death-penalty powers, drawing rights-group alarm; at the same time, fresh reporting claims Israel built a secret base in Iraq to support air operations against Iran, which Baghdad and Israel’s denials collide with. EU draws a rare line: EU sanctions target violent West Bank settlers and Hamas leaders, after months of deadlock. Public mood turns: A Reuters/Ipsos poll finds most Americans think Trump hasn’t clearly explained Iran war goals—fueling domestic pressure as diplomacy frays.
